You know what I love about spring? Of course I love how the warmer weather lets us get outside more, when the grass turns green, and how the flowers bloom. I love all of those things.
But I also love how our food lightens up with the weather. Temperatures start rising and I automatically start craving fresher, lighter foods.

I would love to try this salad wrap, do you have any idea of the sodium content?
I’m sorry I don’t have the sodium information. You can plug the ingredients into a website like myfitnesspal to get that info!
The cakes are so fresh, the recipe you made is so great and you have really clever hands, I really like the way you decorate them.
Strawberry salad with chicken salad you share is very attractive and eye-catching. I think a lot of people like this dish like me.
So glad Spring is here, the lighter food is totally my favorite part! Well that and I can get some color back on my legs 😉
We’ve been getting strawberries at the store for about a month now, but they haven’t been very good. I’m going to have to look into a CSA…maybe those strawberries (when the come into season) will taste much better!
Definitely look into a CSA! All the fruits and vegetables I get are so fresh and good! Of course it depends where you live as all growing seasons will vary, but for fresh produce, I think joining a CSA is the next best option to growing your own. 🙂
Perfect mommy lunch! I need to get some strawberries……yum!
These look so good! I love how strawberries brighten up salads. Can’t wait for warmer weather too!
I know not everyone is, but I’m a big fan of sweet fruits mixed with savory meals.
You’re on a major recipe roll, woman! Perhaps I could sub chickpeas in this lovely salad 😉 Looks so perfect for spring!
Yes–chickpeas would be awesome! Do it! 🙂
